Affinity: Chaos Chapter 864 Not Coming Out

Chapter 864 Not Coming Out
The man finished his speech before calling out the first person that would be executed.
It was a young man who Grey recognized, just barely though. If his guess was correct, then the young man was part of the group who followed them to the competition against the Syphilis Faction.
The young man was visibly afraid, he struggled as he tried to escape from the hands of the people who held him tight. Unfortunately, his cultivation was sealed and he was unable to move an inch.
He pleaded as they took him to the front of the stage, forcing him to his knees, the man who gave the speech summoned a dark sword that hung high in the air, waiting to drop. The young man pleaded with them, but no matter what he said, the people of the Lutra race didn't understand a word he said.
'How did you even learn their language?' Void couldn't help but ask.
Grey managed to learn another language after only staying for over a month. He was very fluent with it now that they wouldn't know the difference between him and a native speaker.
'I don't know, studying them I guess.' Grey shrugged.
During his first month here, he spent his entire time studying the people of the Lutra race. He even went as far as capturing one of them to try to learn their language. It took him a long time, but after putting his entire focus on it, he managed to get some ideas on it.
He continued learning even after the first month, and when he entered a city, he took some books from the library. Reading was one of the best ways to learn the language more quickly. He still had someone with him who he tried to communicate with frequently.
Their writing was completely different from what humans wrote, and he had to learn that as well. To be honest, Void didn't even know if Grey came here to train or learn about this civilization.
When the man was about to drop the sword….
"Wait!"
He heard a voice come from the crowd, pausing, he looked at the crowd, curious as to who would dare to ask him to wait.
The crowd parted apart so the speaker would be visible.
The young man who was about to be executed noticed the man pause and breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he didn't know what was happening, all he knew was that he was not going to die, well, for now. Maybe he could die in the next few minutes.
When the crowd spread apart, Grey's figure could be seen standing alone, with Void hiding in his storage ring.
"What do you think you're doing?" The man asked with a cold tone. .
"Nothing, I just don't think it's ideal to kill them." Grey replied.
When his words left his mouth, all those around him gasped in shock. They couldn't believe one of their own was siding with the humans.
"Seize him! We'll execute him first." The crowd was thrown into outrage.
They rushed at Grey and tried to apprehend him.
"Hear me out. You know fully well that these humans aren't the set that caused the deaths." Grey tried to explain, but unfortunately, they had no plans in listening to what he was saying.
All they wanted to do right now was to kill him, along with the humans.
Keith looked at the people and he couldn't help but take a double look at Grey's figure. He had hung out with Grey for a while, so he knew how he looked. This person had the same features as Grey, their only difference was color. Even the voice was the same, if not for the fact that he couldn't understand a word Grey was saying, he would've been a thousand percent sure that this person was Grey.
'I'll wait and see.'
The people surrounding Grey tried to capture him, but he easily snuck away from their encirclement. He appeared a few meters away from the stage where the young man was to be executed.
The man who wanted to execute him was slightly taken aback, but he hastily realized Grey wasn't the weak person he took him for.
"Stand back, he's mine." The man told the others.
Grey smiled before stepping back, "Void..."
'I'm not coming out, fight yourself.' Void replied coldly.
'Seriously, you want to let me down now?' Grey didn't believe Void wouldn't answer him.
'You're the one who picked a fight with them. Deal with it yourself.' Void replied.
The duo continued arguing while the man dismissed the dark sword he wanted to use in executing the young man. He was a Space Elementalist, so with a blink, he appeared before Grey.
Grey forcefully ejected Void out of his storage ring. Unfortunately for him, Void disappeared the instant he appeared.
'Damn it Void! I'll give you five shiny things!' He negotiated.
'Ten.' Void's voice sounded in his head.
'Deal, now stop this guy while I save the others.' Grey replied hurriedly.
Void soon appeared in front of the man and he attacked him without warning. The man didn't expect a beast to appear in front of him, so he was caught off guard.
Grey rushed over to where the young man was kneeling and freed him.
"Okay?" He asked.
The young man looked at him weirdly, unable to reply.
Only after a few seconds of silence did Grey realize he used the Lutra race's language.
"Are you okay?" He asked in their language.
"Yeah, I'm fine." The young man nodded.
Grey waved his hand and those from the Lutra race who were running toward them were frozen solid. He didn't kill them, only making sure they couldn't move. He didn't forget to free the others as well.
'Void, we're leaving.' He said internally.
Just as he was about to teleport along with the others, he sensed a powerful aura rushing over. This aura was stronger than that of the man fighting against Void.
'Couldn't they just let me leave without causing too much trouble?' He complained internally.
With no other choice, he could only send the others away and stay behind. If he followed as well, then this person coming could easily break the spatial tunnel.
